We now have The Church Inn, and its interesting to compare this photo to the one on #1525, this taken earlier but not much has changed between the two pictures, there is no longer a petrol station next door and the chimney in the middle of the roof has gone but pretty much everything else is the...

Last one on Roll 26, and another image posted just for interest ( I will remove it if on a later roll I come across a better version. This is listed as the Gate Inn Saltley from 1894, people in Top hats and ladies in full skirts, due to the quality I posted as per the negative -

My listing gives this as Swan Hotel Washwood Heath Road, seems to be a photograph with staff, couple of people wearing aprons. Love the "Bowling Green and pleasure Gardens" sign on the wall, there are three windows with Leaded tops and one with tiles, wonder what happen to the one with tiles...

sorry to reply to my own post- however I have found another copy of this picture and the listing for that photo states Lodge Tyre Company Redhill Road 1940 - does that help or hinder the search?

Following on from mikejees image I can transport you back even further - Firstly apologies for the format of the picture - but we loose too much in straightening the image ( well I do) again no date but at least we know it is Great Lister Street, plenty to see within the image . On the extreme...

This picture is described as looking down Sladefield Road , I have two versions, one a lot darker but fuller image with legs on the children or this lighter image - neither are amazing but I think this offers the better view down the road, lads have white collars and the girls have full dresses...

A somewhat faded image - the details say it is Saltley High Street, looking up to Washwood Heath Road on the left and Alum Rock Road ., Looks like a cart running down the middle of the tram tracks - poles for the tram wire running either side of the road and you can just make out a person on...

This picture is titled Old Pub bomb, High Street Saltley 1945, I am assuming this is a war time bomb, dropped on the area, people standing on the flattened remains of a building although the walls at the rear look intact and the front wall of a pub type building to the front right. Is there any...

This picture is rather poor but included for interest and hopefully due to the subject may be know to people . I am not sure if this is linked to the picture that follows it.

I have tried tweeking the original scan and all I can say is it is two digits the first been a "1", which narrows it down to 10 branches ;)

Next I have included this more as a talking point - I have this as an " Old House" large two storey, double fronted house, with buildings to the side sitting in quite open grounds. To the left and further back is an interesting building which may be known to someone, a school, church building...

Our next image is pretty much as it comes - all my information is from the picture E.F. Edwards, Ltd. Funeral Directors, I have no location , and the picture as usual is a photo of a photo hence the lack of pavement and the slightly skewed image- this is how it was taken. Large etched glass...

Next we have an interesting picture from a Co Operative shop. I have no location but over the door it seems to say Branch 12 (?). 6 Staff stood outside in their long white coveralls, wide selection of goods on display in the window, and a couple of intersting sign - first No Entrance fee and...

We now move onto Roll 26 First in this series of older picture is what is titled as Lodge Tyre Company , Great Lister Street, I don't have a year for the picture, but this is an amazing vista over the city, lorries in the foreground, terraced house sitting side by side with factories and in the...

We now move onto the 1940 and the build much as it is today, light coloured wall, balustrades around the roof line, and frontage which has not only had the windows changed to match the others but the building is smaller in size too. It looks like the building at the rear has disappeared, I don't...

we now move onto 1930's there have been a number of changes , the brickwork has been plastered over and there is new large lamp on the corner. There are a number of window styles on the frontage and the building is much large than it is today. Hard to imaging that a walk down King Edwards Place...

Good morning -Moving onto roll 25, and only three picture that are new on this roll everything else are copies off roll 23 and 24. To start we have the Crown Pub corner of Broad Street and King Edwards Place, the first picture is taken in the 1920's, large factory building at the rear, number of...

Quick picture - missed one off the last Roll, The Gate , High Street Saltley, leaded windows and nice ornamental support for the large lamp note the stripped base to the lamppost, Saltley Timber yard, is the sign on the right ( I have a wider but poorer picture) .1879 on the wall above the...

No apologies for including this next picture - I was going to ignore it but then noticed the street sign said Weaman Street - its the same site as the previous picture but years earlier and subject to a re build by the looks of it.

Next we have the George and Dragon Weaman Street, building full of character , large entrance , tall windows and brickwork too add the Chimneys and we have aloveley building. Building to the left looks good.
